WHAT WAS IT: Board of Supervisors

WHEN WAS IT: Tuesday, January 10

Mendocino County Board of Supervisors will navigate 2023 with Glenn McGourty as chair of the board.

With McGourty's ascent to board chair, Maureen Mulheren settles in as vice chair. 

The change passed with a unanimous vote on a motion from former chair Ted Williams. 

Supervisor John Haschak, having won reelection in ‘22, was sworn in, too.

Public Comment:

Transportation–Ukiah-area resident Ken Budrow explained to supervisors why he worries about the county's plans to build a roundabout at Kuki Lane and North State Street near In-N-Out Burger.

Haschak encouraged Budrow to pursue attending a meeting of Mendocino County Council of Governments or MCOG.

Cannabis–Michael Katz, Mendocino County Cannabis Alliance, spoke to the board–

Sadly, Katz was talking about $10 million of grant funds that he says the county cannot seem to distribute to cannabis operators. 

“I urge this board to take action in identifying the delay in the application guideline document, and urge that the submission process be opened immediately so that operators can access these funds that have just been collecting dust for six to eight months,” Katz said.
